Night time at the cafe

Very old fashioned feeling, where was this taken?

At the Old Port in Portland. The Old Port is a section of Portland, ME. The lady was sitting inside a local cafe at nighttime.

Any ideas on how to make it better?

You might try cropping out the blurry posts (?) on the right. Just to see if it looks better. I like the mood here, B&W suits this one well. Good candid.

I am pretty sure the shot got crooked when I scanned it.

Here it is with some cropping:

I can't decide which crop I like better. The first image has the blurry posts which are competing with the woman for my attention. They however, also seem to contrast and balance the image well, now that I have seen the cropped image. They also seem to give the image more depth. The second image is also pleasing though.........I can't decide..............

I like the shot either way.
